Fine Art Print : Mrs A. E. Grant (Bettine Stuart-Wortley) as a nurse, WW1
Fine Art Prints from Mary Evans Picture Library
Mrs A. E. Grant (Bettine Stuart-Wortley) as a nurse, WW1
Mrs A. E. Grant, the former Bettine Stuart-Wortley, pictured around the time of her marriage in nursing uniform as she was doing war work at a hospital in Cavendish Square, London. She was the elder daughter of Major-General the Hon. Edward Stuart-Wortley, C.S.O. of Highclere Castle, Christchurch. The Tatler comments that it is interesting to note that the Kaiser once rented Highclere and was a great admirer of the house. He said that no such turf or trees existed in Germany, and that such a place was only possible in a country unravaged by warfare, as has been the continent. It is still likely to remain unravaged, despite the Kaiser. Elizabeth Valetta (Bettine) Stuart-Wortley (1896-1978) married Captain Allister Edward Grant, 9th Lancers at St. Margaret s, Westminster on 14 August 1917. The couple divorced in 1922, and Bettine then married Montagu Towneley-Bertie, 8th Earl of Abingdon in 1928 and was styled Countess of Abingdon. Date: 1917

EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs A. E. Grant, formerly Bettine Stuart-Wortley, is depicted in this evocative photograph from 1917, as she served as a nurse during World War I at a hospital in Cavendish Square, London. The eldest daughter of Major-General the Hon. Edward Stuart-Wortley, C.S.O. of Highclere Castle, Christchurch, Bettine's war work came at a time when her family's historic home was an unlikely refuge from the ravages of war. The Tatler noted that the Kaiser, who had once rented Highclere and was an admirer of the house, remarked that such a place was only possible in a country untouched by warfare, as Europe was rapidly becoming. Bettine, born in 1896, married Captain Allister Edward Grant, 9th Lancers, on August 14, 1917, at St. Margaret's, Westminster. The couple's marriage was short-lived, and they divorced in 1922. In 1928, Bettine married Montagu Towneley-Bertie, 8th Earl of Abingdon, and became Countess of Abingdon. This poignant image captures a moment in history when the young woman, dressed in her nursing uniform, dedicated herself to the service of her country amidst the chaos and uncertainty of the war years.
